CNNIC votes "No" Best Regards,Vicky [email protected] From: Ryan Sleevi via PublicDate: 2017-02-14 03:18To: CABFPubCC: Ryan SleeviSubject: [cabfpub] Ballot 185 (Revised) - Limiting the Lifetime of CertificatesPursuant to the consensus on https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2017-February/009530.html about the nature of changes during the discussion period, and the request from Gervase on https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2017-February/009618.html to adjust what represents the Baseline agreement, this adjusts the effective date from 1 April to 24 August. While individual programs may choose to enact or enforce requirements prior to that, as the Baseline Requirements capture the effective point of common agreement of the bare minimum security levels, it seems appropriate that this Ballot accurately reflect that. Ballot 185 - Limiting the Lifetime of Certificates The following motion has been proposed by Ryan Sleevi of Google, Inc and endorsed by Josh Aas of ISRG and Gervase Markham of Mozilla to introduce new Final Maintenance Guidelines for the "Baseline Requirements Certificate Policy for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" and the "Guidelines for the Issuance and Management of Extended Validation Certificates" -- MOTION BEGINS --Modify Section 6.3.2 of the "Baseline Requirements Certificate Policy for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" as follows: Replace Section 6.3.2, which reads as follows:"""6.3.2. Certificate Operational Periods and Key Pair Usage Periods Subscriber Certificates issued after the Effective Date MUST have a Validity Period no greater than 60 months. Except as provided for below, Subscriber Certificates issued after 1 April 2015 MUST have a Validity Period no greater than 39 months. Until 30 June 2016, CAs MAY continue to issue Subscriber Certificates with a Validity Period greater than 39 months but not greater than 60 months provided that the CA documents that the Certificate is for a system or software that: (a) was in use prior to the Effective Date; (b) is currently in use by either the Applicant or a substantial number of Relying Parties; (c) fails to operate if the Validity Period is shorter than 60 months; (d) does not contain known security risks to Relying Parties; and (e) is difficult to patch or replace without substantial economic outlay""" with the following text:"""6.3.2.
